There are no good guys here.
You'd have a hard time making a good argument for that.

I thought, wrongly you wanted to have an HONEST discussion but, as usual we have the silly juvenile comments.

My favorite:

"Iraq is the Dems' fault."

Hardly. He could have ended all of this at any time. It's what he promised to do if president. There is nothing stopping him, he controls the troops. Nixon did it.

Nixon did what? Much like Bush ordering the pullout from Iraq, Nixon also ordered a pullout from Vietnam, but in both cases it was not completed until they were already out of the office.

Odd you would ask me what Nixon did but then try and explain it. Obama could have done it like he said he would.

"...will work with military commanders on the ground in Iraq and in consultation with the Iraqi government to end the war safely and responsibly within 16 months."

Ah, the usual "Obama, do something, anything, we just don't want any responsibility if it fails". They'd love nothing more than a war, or second guessing a failure. Hey at least the military industrial complex would be ecstatic!

I told you what Nixon did, but it is not what you said he did, meaning your history is off.

Please!

Give me some slack!

Carry on.

Bush started the disaster... then O came and made it worse. And here we are... just check the news.

That POS also tried to manipulate the war's end to benefit his reelection campaign.
